Telly is a double-screen TV with a 55-inch 4K HDR monitor and smart screen, and a 5-driver soundbar. The TV itself has 3 HDMI and 2 USB ports, a TV tuner and comes with its own stick for streaming 4K capable Android TV. According to The Verge's report, Telly also supports streaming applications such as Hulu. In addition, an HD camera, microphone, motion sensor, etc. are also installed, and it seems that video calls and fitness tracking will be possible.
At the time of writing the article, few details of Telly have been revealed. But most notably, Pluto, the free TV streaming service that developed Telly, plans to distribute this double-screen TV for free. However, overseas media Ars Technica points out that you will pay a big price instead of getting it for free.
'We aim to revolutionize the industry's business model by enabling advertisers to fully subsidize the cost of TV itself for consumers and offer TV completely free,' Telly said in a statement. ``Companies earn billions of dollars from advertising delivered to TV, but consumers have historically I had to pay for both and the content I watched.'
Telly is scheduled to be distributed free of charge with a limited number of 500,000 units in the summer of 2023, and if you want to get it, you need to download a dedicated mobile application and answer a questionnaire. Additionally, Telly tracks your browsing and activity history, so you must also consent to the collection of this personal information.
Telly's smart screen will display advertisements on the right end and 'sponsored news feed' etc. on the left side. However, Telly's smart screen can display ads at any time, even when the TV is not in use.
Telly's Chief Strategy Officer Dallas Lawrence said, ``When you're not using the theater display (the TV itself), you can connect both and the ad unit can work happily. We literally have hundreds of ideas to create the perfect ad experience.” In addition, according to Mr. Lawrence, when Telly owners answer questionnaires on TV, they are also developing a reward system that can earn gift cards such as Starbucks and Netflix.
Telly's
Telly may use the collected customer data for ``general analysis and report creation'' and ``recommended content generation'' to provide corporate partners including advertisers. Other information Telly tracks includes 'search queries', 'preferences', 'apps opened', 'purchases or other transaction information', 'buttons used', 'time spent', 'frequency of use', user's physical presence, ” and various other things. However, Telly claims that ``a third party cannot identify personal information from viewing data or activity data,'' and says that minimum privacy is protected.
However, if you do not like Telly's collection of your personal information, you can opt out of data collection. However, the policy page states that you will be charged for the TV itself in that case. At the time of writing the article, the billing fee was not listed on this policy page, but it was listed as $ 500 (about 68,000 yen) a little while ago.
